We Reap What We Sow - A Vital Principle To Success

We need to do something good in order for us to obtain
something good.

Students allocate ample time for their studies, in order to
earn their degree in the future.

Some health-conscious individuals are hooked on diet and regular
exercise in order to be physically fit.

Employees make sure of good work feat in order to receive
higher work evaluation performance and probable career path promotions in the
future.

Those who constantly ignore the good and pursuing illegal
activities and evil intents are putting their very life in jeopardy. Sooner or later,
they will be exposed, and may be putting a period to their life too.

Regularly, those who diligently learning and searching the
truth and knowledge about God are becoming wiser everyday, seeing perspectives and things
that ordinary people do not see.

A farmer needs to plant so that at the appointed time of the
harvest he has something to reap. This principle is God’s. So the bottom line,
we reap what we sow.

The Bible clearly emphasizes this point. “Do not be
deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to
please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who
sows to please the Spirit from the Spirit will reap eternal life” (Galatians
6:7-8).

Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and in the future, is trying
to teach us this principle. In fact, He said, “For if you forgive men when they
sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not
forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew
6:14-15). So in general, Jesus would want to tell us today the golden rule, “So
in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums
up the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12).

There was a great man of God in the Bible who fully
understood this principle and that was David. In today’s reading, David had the
second chance to lay his hand on Saul, and kill him, but for this time he said,
“As surely as the Lord lives, the Lord himself will strike him; either his time
will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish” (verse 10).

Furthermore he said, “The Lord rewards every man for his
righteousness and faithfulness. The Lord delivered you into my hands today, but
I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. As surely as I valued your life
today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all trouble” (verses
23-24).

God’s message:

The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and
faithfulness. What we sow is what we reap.

God’s promise:

God will always be Just and Fair.

God’s command:

Always be faithful and righteous before the Lord, showing
constant obedience to His words.

God’s warning:

God will always allow things to happen in our lives based on
the results of our response to His words.

Applications:

Make it a lifestyle to be always faithful and righteous before
the Lord.

Prayer:

Father in heaven, in the name of Christ Jesus we
acknowledge that it is Your will for us to become victorious Christians.
Thank You for helping us understand the very principle of becoming
successful Christian. Thank You for reminding us that You reward every man for
his righteousness and faithfulness and we reap what we sow. Help us become
better persons You want us to be. We are asking for Your grace and divine
guidance and provision in everything we do. This we ask and pray, in the name
of Christ Jesus. Amen!
